Social Media Rock Star Makes 28,000 a Year — The Onion just summarized my life. …Without the massive following. Don’t get me wrong, I love all 600 of you, but I’d have to take my pants off to get more and I just don’t think I can bring myself to that level of degradation. Fear not, my life of prostitution will begin in the next year. 

Wolves Don’t Lose Sleep Over The Opinions of Sheep — In the same vein, here’s Sam Wolfe Connelly talking about art for five minutes. He’s awesome. 

Bret Easton Ellis Is Getting Into Trouble With The Gays Again — He pissed off GLAAD a few weeks ago and, while it may have been poorly executed, I think there’s more than a little truth in what he said. 

Speaking of gays…

Stonewall was Not The First Gay Rights Battle — My professor wrote an article on gay lib a few months ago that I used as the basis for a research project. You should read his piece. It’s pretty great. 

Ballets Russes Exhibition at the National Gallery — This is one of those wonderful moments when the research that I’ve been doing for a semester just happens to coincide with a new exhibition. After reading too many articles on the homoeroticism of the Chinese and Russian ballet companies, I get to see relics from one of them up close. Have I told you how much I love this city? 

I survived another semester with my grades intact. 

Don’t ask me how. It was touch-and-go for the last three weeks and I felt like I came dangerous close to some kind of nervous breakdown.

But I made it. It’s all over. Now we have three months before the next wave of insanity. Huzzah?
